Today I plan to paint the bathroom ceiling and catch up on some reading. I do hope none of the words get stuck in wet paint. I may also make time to continue the pokeathon I am conducting with Seb on Facebook, whilst avoiding a caffeine overdose of cheap instant coffee.

I am stuck in Umberto Eco right now – not literally of course. Which one would you recommend first? I have about 1,000 books battling it out for succession to be ‘the next to be read’. Tis fun to watch.
